NEW YORK, June 1.-The World this
visit made by correspondent to Mr.
Blaine at his home in Augusta, Me-, and
afterwards at his cottage at Bar Harbor
in the course of which Blaine gave fully
his plans for his forthcoming trip. He
discussed the false reports of his failing
health and referred at length TO the work
be has bestowed upon the books Just
finished. He says his visit abroad will
extend longer than q year. Mr.. Blame
said: 81 am going abroad and expect to
be away year. Mrs. Blaine and my two
daughters, Marguerite and Hattie will
make up the party. l have engaged
state-rooms on the German Lloyd
ship Ems which sails June s. We
shall stop. at Southampton and 60
at once to London. We intend to spend
considerable time in travelling through
Great Britain. After England we will
probably 90 to Scotland and Ireland, then
l think we shall spend some time in Ger
many, and afterwards take in France.
By this time it viii be getting so late in
the year that Spain and Italy will be com
Portable. We intend to tour both of these
countries. We will probably make long
visits in Rome and Greece, perhaps stay
brief time in ConstantinOple and visit
the scenes of the recent earthquakes in
south France and adjoining portions. 1t
is sufficient time to cover great deal Of
ground without hurTFing."
The correspondent asked: GLOW
about the report, Mr. Blaine, that you con-
template III some way aiding Mr.. Glad
stone and the home rule party"
"That story is purely imaginative.
never had such an idea IN my mind. No,
indeed, shall DO thing of the kind"
Mr. Blaine positively declined to talk
about politics except that while in con-
versatiOn with the correspondent ct Bar

Way out in Indians, they had It that had
said, 'Oh, yes and it went all over the
state that way. Throughout the west
they had slips of paper printed
which read, Read what Mr.. Blaine

Is what lost me the election. You know
of course how close it was Well in New
York city 1t lost me several thousand
votes, good deal more than enough to
have carried the state. l never have felt
sure that l was not elected. It was q
matter of less than 600 votes TO have
turned New York the other way. When
it is as close as that there can be no GER
tainty of the count. l do not think If can
ever be said with certainty which one Of
US really got the votes"
The report, which occupies about five
columns of the World, embraces many
political points concerning Mr.. Blaine.

Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, June News
reached here by courier this morning
that the Polish settlement in and around
St. Hedwig, this county, is again stirred
up over what appears to be cruel and
mysterious murder. All that can be
learned at present is that the name of the
victim is Mrs. Krawitz, al aged Polander.
She lived in the settlement alone with her
youngest son. Day before yesterday he
had call on business away from home
and did not return until late at
night. He quietly retired to bed
with the purpose of not molesting his
mother, but when he arose Yesterday
morning he found her missing, The
alarm was given, q search was instituted
and her dead body was found in tank 8
short distance from the house. A num-
Der OF bruises and marks OF violence were
found around her neck, from which it is
evident that she was first killed and then
thrown into the tank. From the meager
information obtained no cause can be as
signed for the murder. The family have
many friends In the community who will
do all in their power to find the criminal
and threats of lynching are made. The
inquest is now proceeding.

EXTRAORDINARY PRECAUTIONS.

The Citadel at Halifax, n. 8, Closely
Guarded-No Foreigners Admitted.
HALIFAX, n. s., May 27.-Extraordin.
airy precautions have been taken lately
by The military authorities which renders
admission to the citadel By ordinary citi.
zens more difficult than ever, while even
those supposed to have business there
are under certain restrictions. No per-
son, whether 4 British subject or not, can
obtain entrance unless holding a pass
from the brigade office, stating that there
are reasons for his or her admfttance,
and no one whatever is to
be allowed inside out of
mere curiosity. No foreigner of
whatever nationality can be admitted I'M
less he has a special permit issued by the
war office in London. The reason of the
measures taken to vigorously exclude the
public is said to be because the newspa-
per correspondents have been granted so
much freedom inside the past that they
have been enabled to give minute descrip-
tions of the works, guns, etc, and this
the authorities do not appreciate.

OF the Commerce Commission.

OF the Commerce Commission.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-J. T. Tucker,
assistant general manager of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul Railway Com
pany has made answer to the complaint
prepared against that company before the
Interstate commerce commission by the
J Burton Stock Car Company. The answer
/ broadly denies the jurisdiction of the
commission. to grant the relief prayed for
/ or any other relief upon the allegations
made IN the complaint. 1t also denies
the general truth Of the allegations res
/ pectirg the lightness and easy running of
the Burton cars and affirms that
no exorbitant rates have
been charged for hauling them.
a. J. Poppleton, attorney for the Union
Pacific Railway Company, also makes
answer to like complaint by the Burton
Stock Car Company, covering substan-
italy the same points as that made BY the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Com
psny.
1. II. Barrett, president of the State
Farmers Alliance Of Minnesota, trans
mits long list of requests by the eXecu-
tive committee OF the Alliance looking to
the vigorous enforcement of the inter
state commerce law, especially that part
relating to long and short hauls. The
Alliance takes the ground that such bus
mess interests as can be sustained only
by reason of the suspension OF the fourth
section ought nat TO be sustained at all
II is better that the business of the coun-
try be lett to the natural law OF trade.
A complaint was also received from
William Il. Couniall, colOred, directed
against the Western and Atlantic Railroad
in which he AYERS that on account Of his
color he was forcibly elected from q first
clsss car after having paid for first class
ticket He asks that commission award
him S25, 900 damages end such other
relief Us it may deem proper.
The Atlantic and North Carolina Rail
road Company has filed application for
the suspension OF section as far as it
affects Morehead City and Kingston,
\. c., averrinr that at both these points
water competition will ruin its business
unless the relief sought is granted.
